At the last 51st edition of the Tolosa Choral Contest the organization is satisfied for the great success of attendance and participation, not only in the competition venues but also in the more than 70 concerts organized during the competition. In the artistic chapter, it has been a huge success with the participation of 16 choirs from 11 different countries. The jury ratings were very high and only small details were those that put the winner choirs ahead. The proposals of the choirs were very different among them, often depending on their different origins, and clearly show the enormous potential and possibilities of choral music, as well as its universality.
